Special to the Ohio State Journal. Washisotox, March 16. "What will President Clevelar,a do with the reciprocity treaties?" was the question addressed by the State Jocssa.1, correspondent to a Democratic tenajor who is supposed- to know something of the intentions of the new President,. He relied: "t do not know the Presidents intentions with reference to all of tben4 bt fTom conversations la9t fall I feel J"jA that he will never return the ? xwragna treaty to the Senate. Ue fees in A ttoe first step toward an alliance with the Cerftirat American powers that would cer-itainly lead to some straining of our relations w-fcti the governments of Europe." ''Does he look upon the ratification of a treaty with Nicaragua as a violation of the spirit of the Clayton Bui wer treaty V "I am not prepared to answer that question directly. I think, however, that before the doss of his administration President Cleveland will submit the text of a convention with the Republic of Nicaragua that will co -.tain alt the good points of the rejected instrument without its objectionable features. I think, too, that the policy of a , commercial nnionof the countries of North America suits Mr. Cleveland's views exactly, aod that with some modifications the Spun-ash, Mexican and San Domingoan treaties WiDsgiin be returned to the Senate." :A Bovine -II -afl.il Administration. There is nothing very vigorous In any direction anticipated of this administration for some time at least. Everything is to be done cautiously and after mature deliberation, yet it is to partake more of life than the one which has j ust disappeared. A gentleman in close relationship with a Cabinet officer said on the subject this afternoon: ' -Mr. Cleveland's aversion is an administration such as we have just had, and he finds many things to criticise and change. The changes will begin soon. He will not be brash, and counsels caution in every thing;. He thinks this country has net contended as it should for foreign trade, and that the United States agents abroad have been derelict of duty in that they have not exerted themselves to increase the demands for and sales of American products. At a Cabinet meeting the other day be said the consuls, ministers and agents abroad seemed to think .they were sent for no purpose, and that instead of increasing our exports they had .suffered tbem to decrease." 'What will be done?" "There will be a series of orders issued, intended to stir these fellows up to what they .should do. They will be told that they must work for this government like they would for private parties, and not wait for people to come to them. Then there will be some steps taken to have snch legislation enacted as will help along trade and industries every-. where. I have an anxiety to see the President's message to Congress next December. It will be a vigorous document and will make some original suggestions. It is my impression that this Cabinet intends to aid the President in forcing legislation. Yon may look, at any rate, for more attention to be paid to future messages than has been given some of those in the immediate past." On every hand it is believed that the present Cabinet will prove itself to be a stern one, and some unusually firm moves are expected daring the next session of Congress. Setting Up the Pins fur Farter. Senator Sewell having been made chair man of the committee on military affairs, -will, it is said, move for the reinstatement of General Fitz John Porter to the rolls oi the Army at the very opening of Congress next winter. In the House the same committee will have for its head, it is understood, a man who, like Sewell, is the staunch friend of Porter. This will insure a good leadership on the subject in both branches aRepublic-' an for a Republican majority in the Senate and a Democrat for a Democratic majority in the House. Porter's friends say the issue has gaiued votes for him since the retirement ot General urant. Mare .Experiments PromUed. An international tariff convention is talked of a meeting of representatives of the different nationalities for the purpose of agreeing upon a general basis of trade. It is proposed that there can be a system of com mercial exchange established on a tree-trade Basis, which will work great good to all the countries participating. Articles the people of the United States must have would be admitted tree under the proposed plan to the extent o( not injuring American in -dustrUs, and our goods would go into other countries in exchange for the articles we do not produce, or if produced here in in sufficient quantities. A number of nnique propositions bearing on the tariff will come up in tuts auusc Jiejt.lt winter, lb is saiu. Cold Comfort for Orflce-Seekers. "In the long run the Democrats will get just as much benefit out of the offices by ad- berime to the strict letter of the civil service law as though they disregarded it," said a . Southern senator today. "I mean by that," continued He, "that if we do not turn out the officeholders until their terms expire the Republicans will keep our officers in should tout party te successful next time. "Then vou are a civil service reformer?" "To the extent of being decent, I am. The course this administration is taking is the one that wttl win. rio one disapproves or it. ex -eptthe impatient and importunate office- seeker." Be.cher Airs His Valuable Views. "to yon shave mugwumps here.'" in quired a large, handsome old gentleman with a broad, smooth face and long gray hair, noon entering the barber shop at Wil- lard'a hotel this morning. "Yes, sir, take a seat," quickly responded the bu-ber. eyeing his customer cautiously. "Yea. I'm a mugwump from wav bactt, con tinned the gentleman, stripping hintself OI nis Coat and swinging into tne cnair. While the barber was shaving the man he stamm-red: "I I I ve seen you some-whar, judge; may I ask if you live here about?" I'm known as Henry Ward Beecher. sir, and live in Brooklyn." answered the man in the barber's chair, much to the astonish ment of the lineal descendant of Ham who . was manipulating the razor. Later Beecher called upon President Cleveland. Subsequently he said: "I am well - pleased with the new administration. The verv thing that is being complained of, viz: Cleveland's deliberation about making changes, I like. I think that in making new . appointments, if there is a question between a Republican and a Democrat, a Democrat should certainly be chosen. But when a man occupies a place for which he is suited, per- 1 forms his duties faithfully and is not in decently partisan he should not be disturbed. I refer to the subordinate places. I think 'the administration is going to be a success." Iave Paige's Chances. " It was reported at the Capitol today that ex Congressman Paige would be appointed Indian commissioner. Secretary Lamar said tonight that he had made up his mind -vho to have appointed land commissioner, and that be was a man who had not been mentioned for the place by the newspapers. At a Cabinet meeting tomorrow it is expected assistant secretaries for the departments will all be chosen. Western Associated Press Dispatches. A Delegation of Lavdlss.

UNITED STATE SsPPRa-ME COURT. Important Decision by that Body Affect- - ing a Me. Tornon, O., Firm. Washington, March 16. A decision was rendered by the Supreme court of the Uni ted States today in the case of the Cooper Manufacturing Company of Mt. Vernon, 0., plaintiff ih error, against Ferguson fc Harrison. In t-rror to the Circuit court of the Uniied States for the district of Colorado, This wan a suit brought by a manufacturing company to recover a su-u of money alleged to oe due it on contract tor machinery to be turnisiieu to rerzuson E Harrison, defend ants in error, -who were a firm doing business in Colorado. Ferguson & Harrieon set up the defense that the manufacturing company in making this contract was doing business in Colorado unlawfully, since tbe Constitution and laws of that state prohibiting foreign corporations irom transacting business there unless they filed a certificate with the secretary of state. and opened a regular office or principal place of business for the state, and putit in charge of a duly authorized agent. Th?s court holds the defense of ierguson & Harrison is not good, inasmuch as it is not shown that the manufacturing company had any ot her busi ness transaction, or intended to have any other business transaction in Colorado, than this particular one. The statutes of the state, the court holds, can not be construed to impose upon a foreign corporation, limitations of it' right to make contracts in the state for carrying on commerce between states, for that would be an invasion of the exclusive right of Congress to regulate com merce between tne several states. The probabilities against doing any business can not, therefore, be literally interpreted. Reasonably construed the Constitution and statutes of Colorado forhid not the doing of a single act ot business in the state but car rying on business bv foreign corporations wiinuut niiug a ceruueate ana tne appoint ment ot an agent as required by the statute. lh judgment ot the court below is re versed and the rau-e remanded for further proceedings. Justices Matthews and Blatch-ford concur in the judgment, but base their concurrence upon the ground that "tbe construction claimed for the Constitution of Colorado and the statute passed in execution of it can not be extended to prevent the plaintiff in error, a corporation of another state, irom transacting any business in Colorado which of itself is com merce." Tbe transaction in question was clearly of that character. It was making a contract in Colorado to manufacture cer- -tain machinery in Ohio, to be then delivered by them for transportation to the purchaser in Colorado. That was commerce, and to prohibit it except upon conditions is to regulate commeice between Colorado and Ohio, which is within the exclusive province of Congress Ths State of Colorado can not prohibit a foreign corporation from selling in that state by contracts made there, of its machinery manufactured elsewhere. FIRES IN TUE MINES. How the Work of Extinguishing the Flames Goes On Condition of Affairs. Special to the Ohio State Journal. New 8traitsv.ii.le, March 16. The bosses and hre extinguishers at the Troy mine gave out the report last week that the fire had been put out, and they appeared very jnbilant and happy over the result, but closer inspection this week proves that the good worjc must be continued for some time yet., wuu uihiij new uiuicujues to uontenu with. 1 he hre was principally nn the main entries, and extending a short distance into the rooms. 1 lie heat wa- so intense tbat it caused about ten feet of the roof to fall. covering all the coal and fire. This debris could not be removed until it waj well drenched with water to cool it off, and then loaded in -cars and taken out. The entry getting all the attention closed up the liws of the rooms with dirt, without being positive that the fire was all out. Many hundred yards of entry was run over very successful, but the men were continually troubled with Bmose. foul air and heat, but could not tell where it came from, when tbe lire was pro; pounced out last week, the entries were clear, not a spark of nre was visible anywhere, but tbe bad condition of the air pre vented a close inspection in the remote parts of tbe mine. But no one had any doubt but the fire was out, and work was began to make the mine in readiness to ship coal, by removing tbe dirt and getting tbe air to cir culate through the different parts of the works. Hut to their horror and disappoint ment, another fire was discovered in the air way hading back to the air shaft, with no possible way to get at it but to put men in the neat ana smoce to ruin tneir neaun. But the work must be done. Besides tbe difficulty mentioned in getting back through the air-way, the rooms that were filled up in the progress of putting the fire out on the entry are still burning, ac cording to the best opinions, and the gases are pushing tbe stoppages out, making it very offensive and dangerous to be on the entries. It was a pitimi sight to see the men Saturday. They nad quit their work before tbe day was finished could not stand it longer. They could hardly walk, with weakness and a tremendous headache and vomit ing. But $2 50 for eight hours' work is a reasonable compensation. No. 7 mine is in working order. Only build a new hopper instead cf the one that was burned, there are four bosses working at No. 11 mine, with one or two aborers for $1.23 per day. No fire has been seen yet, but enough of dirt and ashes to insure work for a long time to come. . : No. 9 mine is on fire and damped to pre vent ventilation, so far no steps have been taken to commence the extinguishment of it. Plummer Hill or No. 35 mine, that has been abandoned to the mercy of the fire, is an awful spectacle to behold, with a dozen or more different ways for ventilation, tbe roaring and cracking of tbe intense beat and volumes of black smoke. If Bob Ingersoll has any doubtof the existence of an infernal pit, let him come down here. The condition of No. 33 mine is not known, but the fire is supposed to be out, or nearly so. No. 3 mine will be ready for operation when the Bristol tunnel is repaired. W. P. Rend s mine works but little better than before the reduction was accepted. TIIK STJK'S PEEK-A-BOO.

A FALLING BAROMETER WITH INDICATIONS OF A STORM Hovering Over the Head of General Hazen He Tells His Story, But is Rudely Sat Upon by the Judge Advocate. Washington, March 16. General Hazen testified in his own behalf before the court- martial today. He admitted writing tbe articles in controversy, but said he intended no disrespect or discourtesy to the secretary of war. He gave as his reason for making the statements that he had been held to most serious responsibility for not effectively rescuing tbe Greely party: that it bad been published all over the world that he was in fault, and that in his own defense he simply wished to state a fact that Ureely could have been rescued and that he (Hazen) did all in his power to have him rescued. The secretary of war in his annual report had largely confirmed the opinion expressed in the press, that he (Hazen) was responsible for the death of these men. The report made him either wilfully culpable or neglectful and ineffl-ieiit in his work. Neither was true. He wrote tbe letters simply to relieve himself of tbat blemish upon bis record which tbe secre tary s report had wrongly placed there. In argument upon an objection, judge Mackey, counsel for General Hazen, said: We know that the prosecution does not want to touch Cape Sabine. The accuser does not want to fnce those horrors. We propose to show the animus of the accuser; that he was imbued with malice so deep and deadly against the chief signal officer of the army that he became eimd.upon any question touching Arctic matters, suggesting his deep and tireless bate ; that indeed, bis very body exhaled malice whenever the chief signal officer was named. Judge Mackev then called the attention ot the witness to the fact that his letter to the secretary, dated February 17 la-t, was in dorsed by the secretary as having been received at the War department February 26, and a so to the fact that the statement con cerning tbe contents of the letter was pub lished in the Chicago Tribune February 2o, and asked where the letter was kept prior to ireoruary zti. General Hazen replied it was kept in his desk. -i Judge Mackev asked whether within a recent period official letters have not been purloined from the desks in the signal office and taken to the secretary of war. The judge advocate ohji-cted to this. Judge Mackey said the purpose of the defense is to negative tbe presumption tbat tbe accused circulated tbe contents ot this letter. He said he proposed to show that letters had been purloined from the desks in the signal office and taken to the secretary of war by the person purloining them and tbat .the person received special employment after, purloining the letters. He said they wanted to show the general course of the administration with reference to the cbiet signal oniccr, that nothing was safe or sacred in ibe office of the chief signal officer from the hand of this secretary of war by day or night. The judge advocate said he did not feel called upon to reply to the insinuations of the counsel with respect to the secretary of war. That official, he said, needed no defense at his hands, and tbe attacks upon him were in very bad taste, to say the least. Without concluding the examination of General Hazen, the court adjourned.

'Oh. yes," said Congressman Foran yesterday while looking over some pa pers and letters preparatory to Dig de parture lor wasningtoo, "mere ate strange incidents in important political campaigns, such as that of last fall. Do 1 know ol any interesting I acta c Per haps what is interesting to me might not interest others, but you can have tbe lacts. So here goes. The congressman lighted a cigar, and, leaning back in his chair, be sent the tlouds ceihngward. Did you know George W. Ketchum ?" he asked. lhe reporter said tie knew sued a man who came to Columbus from .New lurk in loitf and lound employment on the Democrat. In 1880 he went to Dayton to work on a newspaper, was elected a mem ber of the board of education, but left there under a cloud. Returning to Co lumbus, he did some work for tbe Cincin nati iiuquirer and a tjleveiand ln-irmng daily, and in 1882 came to Cleveland. After working a few months on the Her ald be went back to Columbus as its cor respondent, and within a year returned to this city, lie was understood to ue trav eling correspondent of the Enquirer. The same man, said Mr. foran. 1 had a singular experience with him last fall which might have seriously damaged me in the eyes ot my political lnends. He had gradually drifted into the posi tion of my secretary, and, as i waB kept extremely buy, he had tbe run of my mail.' Ibe understanding was that he should attend to minor correspondence, referring matters of importance to me One day he came to me sayiug he wanted to go to Cincinnati on business. 1 told him I could not spare him at that tmii. and that be must arrange to go some other time. Tne next morning he called at my house. He said he must so to Cincinnati and wanted some funds. I gave him an order for $15, but he drew $30. However, that did not botber rue much. That day I had business with a gentleman at the Weddell house, and while so engaged received a telegraphic message which required an immediate an swer. I wrote out the answer and sooie- thing prompted me to deliver it at the Western Union office in person. I might have sent it from the Weddell house, but obeying the impulse of the moment I walk ed down to the main omce. mere I met Representative Roach, who informed me that some telegrams of importance had been sent to my office within the last fifteen minutes. I telephoned to my office, but no message had been received there. This seemed strange, and I asked, tbe Western Union people to furnish me a duplicate. When I got the duplicate I wa considerably surprised." Here Mr. Uoran went to nia neeit ana looked over bis files. "Nevr mind, he aid; "I can't find it.

'And what became of the original tele gram which failed to reach you?" It had been delivered at an office in the Wilshire block. Ketchum had told a gentleman there that for the sake of greater privacy he wanted certain dis patches of mine delivered in his ouce, and the occupant of that office never knew tor what purpose his address was ued until I told him." 'Of course you bad a settlement With Ketchum ?" "Yea," said Mr. Foran with a smile.

TUE GKA.N1 JlKY OF VWASDOT In Sesnion at Upper Sautlukj Taken a Hand in Soma Matlem Which are of luterext to Citizeua of Columbus. The grand jury in session at Upper 8an- dtu-ky yesterday took a band in a couple of matters which possess some local interest here. One of tbe cases is that of Osborne, the alleged bigamist, whose case has pie- sented as many legal aspects as there have been weeks since bis sensational marriage with the isucvru" heiress Colonel Sterling, Detective John T. Norns, Brother-in-law Ciiristler and the clergyman ho conducted the marriage ceremony in fennsyivania were present as wituersrs be fore the grand jury, and from what could be learned of the testimony Mr. Morris feels that Oaborne will be indicted without a shadow of doubt. It was proved that Os borne s pretended visit, to his grandlather in Cincinnati was all gammon, aud tbat he had seen no one of such relationship since he left Bucyrns. Regarding tbe money claim ed by him to have been furnished by hi Counterpart, it is certain be secured the $150, which he displayed in Columbus, from a citizen of Uhrtchsville. on whose sympathies be worked while hiding in that city. Osborne now makes tbe claim tbat if he can see Miss Kearsley in personal conversation he will tell herthe whole story, and it will be. satisfactory to her, hut if this privilege is refused he will go to the penitentiary quietly, hut will refuse to make further disclosures. This is regarded as the last attempt to creale notoriety, and will receive but slight atten tion. The case against Murray and Leach, for shootifg Brakeman Wells, and for confessed bareiarv. was belore the sane eraud iurv. Papers were also nied charging L,each with shooting Patrolman Feist, and charging Murray with snatching a band-sachet and peket-book from a lady in the eastenn part ot the city this winter, inese charges ar new ones, and the proofs of tbe guilt of tbe p trties are said to be suthcient to cause con viction.

Tbere was a decided fall in temperature yesterday among those members of the local Democracy who had built their hopes high on the belief tbat the Supreme court would be governed by partisanship and would reach a decision in the quo warranto case to test the constitutionality or tbe Myers reorganisa tion bill favorable to themselves. DeWitt C. Jones, tbe attorney of the friends of tbe bin, appeared belore the Circuit court and stated that au intimation had some from the Supreme court to the effect that that body would not pass upon tbe constitutionality of the law as long as a cse brought for a similar purpose was pending in the Circuit court. The Supreme court would, however. he said, consent to hear the should the Circuit court sass an order to the effect that the judges would like to be relieved of the responsibility of reach ing a decision in the case and wished to have the Supreme court take the case. Mr. Jones requested the court to Intimate to the su preme judges tbat further consideration would be discontinued in the lower court. If this could not be done, Mr. Jone desired that arguments be permitted last evening. instead of this evening, as intended. City Solicitor Clark objected to this and tbe court took tbe matter under advisement, hut as yet has made no announcement, so tuat the case will probably be heard ibis evening. Water-Works Bnainess. Among the business transacted by the board of trustees of the water-works last night was: A collection of $2500 from the penitentiary. with a promise of the balance on April 15. This makes a balance in tbe water-works of $19,000. Application for extension of pipes from Wesley avenue to the corportioo line on Fifth avenue was referred to the superin tendent. Also a petition for pipes in the vicinity of First avenue and Summit streets. ibe superintendent was ordered to con struct a line on Rich street from Third to Washington avenue, the estimated cost of which will be $3650. It will consist of 12- inch pipe to the Fifth street crossing, and of 10 inch pipe trom that point to the end oi the line. Rich street has had no direct service heretotore. the nouses being sup plied from the small aud inefficient service pipes in the alley, except a 4 inch street supply running as far out as Fourth street. Several old accounts were reported in progress of adjustment by the secretary, one of which runs back to tbe year 1879. The superintendent was authorized to secure bids on gas-fixtures for tbe new office, removing safes, etc. lt was stated that tne uewofflce will be ready for occupancy within two weeks.

The interest taken in the phenomenon was verv general, it heme no uncommon thing to see groups of men numbering all the way from four to ten each scattered along the sidewalks scanning tbe clouded heavens with the naked eye. So far as could be ascertained, the eclipse present ed no unexpected feature. It is not known whether or not any scientific in- vestiiiation was conducted from this vi cinity.

I think, too, that the policy of a , commercial nnionof the countries of North America suits Mr. Cleveland's views exactly, aod that with some modifications the Spun-ash, Mexican and San Domingoan treaties WiDsgiin be returned to the Senate." :A Bovine -II -afl.il Administration. There is nothing very vigorous In any direction anticipated of this administration for some time at least. Everything is to be done cautiously and after mature deliberation, yet it is to partake more of life than the one which has j ust disappeared. A gentleman in close relationship with a Cabinet officer said on the subject this afternoon: ' -Mr. Cleveland's aversion is an administration such as we have just had, and he finds many things to criticise and change. The changes will begin soon. He will not be brash, and counsels caution in every thing;. He thinks this country has net contended as it should for foreign trade, and that the United States agents abroad have been derelict of duty in that they have not exerted themselves to increase the demands for and sales of American products. At a Cabinet meeting the other day be said the consuls, ministers and agents abroad seemed to think .they were sent for no purpose, and that instead of increasing our exports they had .suffered tbem to decrease." 'What will be done?" "There will be a series of orders issued, intended to stir these fellows up to what they .should do. They will be told that they must work for this government like they would for private parties, and not wait for people to come to them. Then there will be some steps taken to have snch legislation enacted as will help along trade and industries every-. where. I have an anxiety to see the President's message to Congress next December. It will be a vigorous document and will make some original suggestions. It is my impression that this Cabinet intends to aid the President in forcing legislation. Yon may look, at any rate, for more attention to be paid to future messages than has been given some of those in the immediate past." On every hand it is believed that the present Cabinet will prove itself to be a stern one, and some unusually firm moves are expected daring the next session of Congress. Setting Up the Pins fur Farter. Senator Sewell having been made chair man of the committee on military affairs, -will, it is said, move for the reinstatement of General Fitz John Porter to the rolls oi the Army at the very opening of Congress next winter. In the House the same committee will have for its head, it is understood, a man who, like Sewell, is the staunch friend of Porter. This will insure a good leadership on the subject in both branches aRepublic-' an for a Republican majority in the Senate and a Democrat for a Democratic majority in the House. Porter's friends say the issue has gaiued votes for him since the retirement ot General urant. Mare .Experiments PromUed. An international tariff convention is talked of a meeting of representatives of the different nationalities for the purpose of agreeing upon a general basis of trade.

Articles the people of the United States must have would be admitted tree under the proposed plan to the extent o( not injuring American in -dustrUs, and our goods would go into other countries in exchange for the articles we do not produce, or if produced here in in sufficient quantities. A number of nnique propositions bearing on the tariff will come up in tuts auusc Jiejt.lt winter, lb is saiu. Cold Comfort for Orflce-Seekers. "In the long run the Democrats will get just as much benefit out of the offices by ad- berime to the strict letter of the civil service law as though they disregarded it," said a .

I'm known as Henry Ward Beecher. sir, and live in Brooklyn." answered the man in the barber's chair, much to the astonish ment of the lineal descendant of Ham who . was manipulating the razor. Later Beecher called upon President Cleveland. Subsequently he said: "I am well - pleased with the new administration. The verv thing that is being complained of, viz: Cleveland's deliberation about making changes, I like. I think that in making new . appointments, if there is a question between a Republican and a Democrat, a Democrat should certainly be chosen. But when a man occupies a place for which he is suited, per- 1 forms his duties faithfully and is not in decently partisan he should not be disturbed. I refer to the subordinate places. I think 'the administration is going to be a success." Iave Paige's Chances. " It was reported at the Capitol today that ex Congressman Paige would be appointed Indian commissioner.

UNITED STATE SsPPRa-ME COURT. Important Decision by that Body Affect- - ing a Me. Tornon, O., Firm. Washington, March 16. A decision was rendered by the Supreme court of the Uni ted States today in the case of the Cooper Manufacturing Company of Mt. Vernon, 0., plaintiff ih error, against Ferguson fc Harrison. In t-rror to the Circuit court of the Uniied States for the district of Colorado, This wan a suit brought by a manufacturing company to recover a su-u of money alleged to oe due it on contract tor machinery to be turnisiieu to rerzuson E Harrison, defend ants in error, -who were a firm doing business in Colorado. Ferguson & Harrieon set up the defense that the manufacturing company in making this contract was doing business in Colorado unlawfully, since tbe Constitution and laws of that state prohibiting foreign corporations irom transacting business there unless they filed a certificate with the secretary of state. and opened a regular office or principal place of business for the state, and putit in charge of a duly authorized agent. Th?s court holds the defense of ierguson & Harrison is not good, inasmuch as it is not shown that the manufacturing company had any ot her busi ness transaction, or intended to have any other business transaction in Colorado, than this particular one. The statutes of the state, the court holds, can not be construed to impose upon a foreign corporation, limitations of it' right to make contracts in the state for carrying on commerce between states, for that would be an invasion of the exclusive right of Congress to regulate com merce between tne several states. The probabilities against doing any business can not, therefore, be literally interpreted. Reasonably construed the Constitution and statutes of Colorado forhid not the doing of a single act ot business in the state but car rying on business bv foreign corporations wiinuut niiug a ceruueate ana tne appoint ment ot an agent as required by the statute. lh judgment ot the court below is re versed and the rau-e remanded for further proceedings. Justices Matthews and Blatch-ford concur in the judgment, but base their concurrence upon the ground that "tbe construction claimed for the Constitution of Colorado and the statute passed in execution of it can not be extended to prevent the plaintiff in error, a corporation of another state, irom transacting any business in Colorado which of itself is com merce." Tbe transaction in question was clearly of that character. It was making a contract in Colorado to manufacture cer- -tain machinery in Ohio, to be then delivered by them for transportation to the purchaser in Colorado. That was commerce, and to prohibit it except upon conditions is to regulate commeice between Colorado and Ohio, which is within the exclusive province of Congress Ths State of Colorado can not prohibit a foreign corporation from selling in that state by contracts made there, of its machinery manufactured elsewhere. FIRES IN TUE MINES. How the Work of Extinguishing the Flames Goes On Condition of Affairs. Special to the Ohio State Journal. New 8traitsv.ii.le, March 16. The bosses and hre extinguishers at the Troy mine gave out the report last week that the fire had been put out, and they appeared very jnbilant and happy over the result, but closer inspection this week proves that the good worjc must be continued for some time yet., wuu uihiij new uiuicujues to uontenu with. 1 he hre was principally nn the main entries, and extending a short distance into the rooms. 1 lie heat wa- so intense tbat it caused about ten feet of the roof to fall. covering all the coal and fire. This debris could not be removed until it waj well drenched with water to cool it off, and then loaded in -cars and taken out. The entry getting all the attention closed up the liws of the rooms with dirt, without being positive that the fire was all out. Many hundred yards of entry was run over very successful, but the men were continually troubled with Bmose. foul air and heat, but could not tell where it came from, when tbe lire was pro; pounced out last week, the entries were clear, not a spark of nre was visible anywhere, but tbe bad condition of the air pre vented a close inspection in the remote parts of tbe mine. But no one had any doubt but the fire was out, and work was began to make the mine in readiness to ship coal, by removing tbe dirt and getting tbe air to cir culate through the different parts of the works. Hut to their horror and disappoint ment, another fire was discovered in the air way hading back to the air shaft, with no possible way to get at it but to put men in the neat ana smoce to ruin tneir neaun. But the work must be done. Besides tbe difficulty mentioned in getting back through the air-way, the rooms that were filled up in the progress of putting the fire out on the entry are still burning, ac cording to the best opinions, and the gases are pushing tbe stoppages out, making it very offensive and dangerous to be on the entries. It was a pitimi sight to see the men Saturday. They nad quit their work before tbe day was finished could not stand it longer. They could hardly walk, with weakness and a tremendous headache and vomit ing. But $2 50 for eight hours' work is a reasonable compensation. No. 7 mine is in working order. Only build a new hopper instead cf the one that was burned, there are four bosses working at No. 11 mine, with one or two aborers for $1.23 per day. No fire has been seen yet, but enough of dirt and ashes to insure work for a long time to come. . : No. 9 mine is on fire and damped to pre vent ventilation, so far no steps have been taken to commence the extinguishment of it. Plummer Hill or No. 35 mine, that has been abandoned to the mercy of the fire, is an awful spectacle to behold, with a dozen or more different ways for ventilation, tbe roaring and cracking of tbe intense beat and volumes of black smoke. If Bob Ingersoll has any doubtof the existence of an infernal pit, let him come down here. The condition of No. 33 mine is not known, but the fire is supposed to be out, or nearly so. No. 3 mine will be ready for operation when the Bristol tunnel is repaired. W. P. Rend s mine works but little better than before the reduction was accepted. TIIK STJK'S PEEK-A-BOO.

A FALLING BAROMETER WITH INDICATIONS OF A STORM Hovering Over the Head of General Hazen He Tells His Story, But is Rudely Sat Upon by the Judge Advocate. Washington, March 16. General Hazen testified in his own behalf before the court- martial today. He admitted writing tbe articles in controversy, but said he intended no disrespect or discourtesy to the secretary of war. He gave as his reason for making the statements that he had been held to most serious responsibility for not effectively rescuing tbe Greely party: that it bad been published all over the world that he was in fault, and that in his own defense he simply wished to state a fact that Ureely could have been rescued and that he (Hazen) did all in his power to have him rescued. The secretary of war in his annual report had largely confirmed the opinion expressed in the press, that he (Hazen) was responsible for the death of these men. The report made him either wilfully culpable or neglectful and ineffl-ieiit in his work. Neither was true. He wrote tbe letters simply to relieve himself of tbat blemish upon bis record which tbe secre tary s report had wrongly placed there. In argument upon an objection, judge Mackey, counsel for General Hazen, said: We know that the prosecution does not want to touch Cape Sabine. The accuser does not want to fnce those horrors. We propose to show the animus of the accuser; that he was imbued with malice so deep and deadly against the chief signal officer of the army that he became eimd.upon any question touching Arctic matters, suggesting his deep and tireless bate ; that indeed, bis very body exhaled malice whenever the chief signal officer was named. Judge Mackev then called the attention ot the witness to the fact that his letter to the secretary, dated February 17 la-t, was in dorsed by the secretary as having been received at the War department February 26, and a so to the fact that the statement con cerning tbe contents of the letter was pub lished in the Chicago Tribune February 2o, and asked where the letter was kept prior to ireoruary zti. General Hazen replied it was kept in his desk. -i Judge Mackev asked whether within a recent period official letters have not been purloined from the desks in the signal office and taken to the secretary of war. The judge advocate ohji-cted to this. Judge Mackey said the purpose of the defense is to negative tbe presumption tbat tbe accused circulated tbe contents ot this letter. He said he proposed to show that letters had been purloined from the desks in the signal office and taken to the secretary of war by the person purloining them and tbat .the person received special employment after, purloining the letters. He said they wanted to show the general course of the administration with reference to the cbiet signal oniccr, that nothing was safe or sacred in ibe office of the chief signal officer from the hand of this secretary of war by day or night. The judge advocate said he did not feel called upon to reply to the insinuations of the counsel with respect to the secretary of war. That official, he said, needed no defense at his hands, and tbe attacks upon him were in very bad taste, to say the least. Without concluding the examination of General Hazen, the court adjourned.

A Caonloe Scheme Frustrated Cong-ren- man Foran Relates How Two Men, One Well Known Here, Tried to Swindle the National Committee. Cleveland Plaindealer. 'Oh. yes," said Congressman Foran yesterday while looking over some pa pers and letters preparatory to Dig de parture lor wasningtoo, "mere ate strange incidents in important political campaigns, such as that of last fall. Do 1 know ol any interesting I acta c Per haps what is interesting to me might not interest others, but you can have tbe lacts. So here goes. The congressman lighted a cigar, and, leaning back in his chair, be sent the tlouds ceihngward. Did you know George W. Ketchum ?" he asked. lhe reporter said tie knew sued a man who came to Columbus from .New lurk in loitf and lound employment on the Democrat. In 1880 he went to Dayton to work on a newspaper, was elected a mem ber of the board of education, but left there under a cloud. Returning to Co lumbus, he did some work for tbe Cincin nati iiuquirer and a tjleveiand ln-irmng daily, and in 1882 came to Cleveland. After working a few months on the Her ald be went back to Columbus as its cor respondent, and within a year returned to this city, lie was understood to ue trav eling correspondent of the Enquirer. The same man, said Mr. foran. 1 had a singular experience with him last fall which might have seriously damaged me in the eyes ot my political lnends. He had gradually drifted into the posi tion of my secretary, and, as i waB kept extremely buy, he had tbe run of my mail.' Ibe understanding was that he should attend to minor correspondence, referring matters of importance to me One day he came to me sayiug he wanted to go to Cincinnati on business. 1 told him I could not spare him at that tmii. and that be must arrange to go some other time. Tne next morning he called at my house. He said he must so to Cincinnati and wanted some funds. I gave him an order for $15, but he drew $30. However, that did not botber rue much. That day I had business with a gentleman at the Weddell house, and while so engaged received a telegraphic message which required an immediate an swer. I wrote out the answer and sooie- thing prompted me to deliver it at the Western Union office in person. I might have sent it from the Weddell house, but obeying the impulse of the moment I walk ed down to the main omce. mere I met Representative Roach, who informed me that some telegrams of importance had been sent to my office within the last fifteen minutes. I telephoned to my office, but no message had been received there. This seemed strange, and I asked, tbe Western Union people to furnish me a duplicate. When I got the duplicate I wa considerably surprised." Here Mr. Uoran went to nia neeit ana looked over bis files. "Nevr mind, he aid; "I can't find it.

As soon as I had answered Mr. Crorman called on senator Payne and found that he too had received a query from the national committee respecting the demand for money fraudulently made in my name and that of Mr. Sawyer." 'And what became of the original tele gram which failed to reach you?" It had been delivered at an office in the Wilshire block. Ketchum had told a gentleman there that for the sake of greater privacy he wanted certain dis patches of mine delivered in his ouce, and the occupant of that office never knew tor what purpose his address was ued until I told him." 'Of course you bad a settlement With Ketchum ?" "Yea," said Mr. Foran with a smile. 'When he came back I told him that I might send him to the penitentiary, but since lie got nothing tor his pains and could not have got. anything anyway, I let him go, poor cuss." THE RAILHOADS.

TUE GKA.N1 JlKY OF VWASDOT In Sesnion at Upper Sautlukj Taken a Hand in Soma Matlem Which are of luterext to Citizeua of Columbus. The grand jury in session at Upper 8an- dtu-ky yesterday took a band in a couple of matters which possess some local interest here. One of tbe cases is that of Osborne, the alleged bigamist, whose case has pie- sented as many legal aspects as there have been weeks since bis sensational marriage with the isucvru" heiress Colonel Sterling, Detective John T. Norns, Brother-in-law Ciiristler and the clergyman ho conducted the marriage ceremony in fennsyivania were present as wituersrs be fore the grand jury, and from what could be learned of the testimony Mr. Morris feels that Oaborne will be indicted without a shadow of doubt. It was proved that Os borne s pretended visit, to his grandlather in Cincinnati was all gammon, aud tbat he had seen no one of such relationship since he left Bucyrns. Regarding tbe money claim ed by him to have been furnished by hi Counterpart, it is certain be secured the $150, which he displayed in Columbus, from a citizen of Uhrtchsville. on whose sympathies be worked while hiding in that city. Osborne now makes tbe claim tbat if he can see Miss Kearsley in personal conversation he will tell herthe whole story, and it will be. satisfactory to her, hut if this privilege is refused he will go to the penitentiary quietly, hut will refuse to make further disclosures. This is regarded as the last attempt to creale notoriety, and will receive but slight atten tion. The case against Murray and Leach, for shootifg Brakeman Wells, and for confessed bareiarv. was belore the sane eraud iurv. Papers were also nied charging L,each with shooting Patrolman Feist, and charging Murray with snatching a band-sachet and peket-book from a lady in the eastenn part ot the city this winter, inese charges ar new ones, and the proofs of tbe guilt of tbe p trties are said to be suthcient to cause con viction.

Tbere was a decided fall in temperature yesterday among those members of the local Democracy who had built their hopes high on the belief tbat the Supreme court would be governed by partisanship and would reach a decision in the quo warranto case to test the constitutionality or tbe Myers reorganisa tion bill favorable to themselves. DeWitt C. Jones, tbe attorney of the friends of tbe bin, appeared belore the Circuit court and stated that au intimation had some from the Supreme court to the effect that that body would not pass upon tbe constitutionality of the law as long as a cse brought for a similar purpose was pending in the Circuit court. The Supreme court would, however. he said, consent to hear the should the Circuit court sass an order to the effect that the judges would like to be relieved of the responsibility of reach ing a decision in the case and wished to have the Supreme court take the case. Mr. Jones requested the court to Intimate to the su preme judges tbat further consideration would be discontinued in the lower court. If this could not be done, Mr. Jone desired that arguments be permitted last evening. instead of this evening, as intended. City Solicitor Clark objected to this and tbe court took tbe matter under advisement, hut as yet has made no announcement, so tuat the case will probably be heard ibis evening. Water-Works Bnainess. Among the business transacted by the board of trustees of the water-works last night was: A collection of $2500 from the penitentiary. with a promise of the balance on April 15. This makes a balance in tbe water-works of $19,000. Application for extension of pipes from Wesley avenue to the corportioo line on Fifth avenue was referred to the superin tendent. Also a petition for pipes in the vicinity of First avenue and Summit streets. ibe superintendent was ordered to con struct a line on Rich street from Third to Washington avenue, the estimated cost of which will be $3650. It will consist of 12- inch pipe to the Fifth street crossing, and of 10 inch pipe trom that point to the end oi the line. Rich street has had no direct service heretotore. the nouses being sup plied from the small aud inefficient service pipes in the alley, except a 4 inch street supply running as far out as Fourth street. Several old accounts were reported in progress of adjustment by the secretary, one of which runs back to tbe year 1879.

The interest taken in the phenomenon was verv general, it heme no uncommon thing to see groups of men numbering all the way from four to ten each scattered along the sidewalks scanning tbe clouded heavens with the naked eye. So far as could be ascertained, the eclipse present ed no unexpected feature. It is not known whether or not any scientific in- vestiiiation was conducted from this vi cinity.
